BOLD Real Estate has helped many clients relocate to the Greater Triangle area in the last few years. We have it down to a science. You see, when you’re making a big move, you need an agent partnered with an experienced firm who can anticipate your needs. Here are a few things that work best for my relocation clients.
1st: I tell all of my out-of-state clients to have their home listed for sale before we start house hunting in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, or surrounding areas. This will make sellers feel better about a contingent offer if they know you have already started the process. It’s even better if you are under contract. That way, the home you’re purchasing will be marked pending and agents won’t continue to show it. Need an agent referral in your hometown? I’ll help with that.
2nd: Be prepared for virtual showings. Many of my clients find the right home before they are able to visit. I like doing FaceTime showings so you can ask specific questions while I move through the home. It’s more like an in-person showing than a video. Afterward, I grab a video of the neighborhood amenities and street so you can see what it looks like.
3rd: If you’re flying in be sure to add an additional day to your schedule to explore. The Triangle Area has some great suburbs so it’s good to set aside some time to explore those. Many of my clients request Durham, NC, but have settled in Graham, NC, Mebane, NC or Clayton, NC. If you're already sure about The Greater Triangle Area you'll want to know which part of town will work best for your needs.
4th: This is the most important. Utilize me in every way you can! Ask me all the questions. I’m here to tell you about neighborhoods, gyms, shopping, golf, whatever you need. I’m a local expert and I’m here to advise you in all things, not just real estate!
5th: I am a designated Military Relocation Professional with the National Association of Realtors and a veteran who successfully navigated relocating utilizing a VA loan. This is an advantage for clients currently in the military or veterans looking to move!
Plus partnering with me provides clients exclusive access to the Homes for Heroes program and thousands in cashback savings, reputable local VA lenders, and a direct understanding of military culture and customs from my time in the Marine Corps.
